business management | business development | total quality management WebEx for iPad aims to support the mobile workplace WebEx, the Cisco-owned meeting solutions company, is continuing the web conferencing competition with an updated iPad app. The app, WebEx says, is a product of working people becoming more mobile. “10 years ago, I wasn’t allowed to work from anywhere but the office,” June Bower, WebEx’s vice president of Online Business, told VentureBeat in an interview. According to a study performed by WebEx, 45% of working people do their jobs remotely today. A 1990’s VP would have balked at the concept. The idea that tablets are becoming a mainstay in the workplace is not foreign anymore. WebEx is excited to press forward as well with an app focused on content and interaction. Voice and video options, the latter unavailable on GoToMeeting’s iPad app, are available for participants. Another cool feature is the in-app messaging option. Sending e-mail without disruption is also possible. WebEx tailors its products to the device. Meetings can also be recorded, saved in the app and shared.

Social Media In Learning Photo taken by Jay Cross, 5 November 2010 The Internet Time Alliance is running two major Workshops next week, one in Maastricht in the Netherlands, and one in London . As part of the introduction to the day, each of the 5 of us, is going to explain how, from very different backgrounds we have arrived at the same place in our belief that it is all about working smarter. Harold has written about his journey from ADDIE through HPT and Social Learning here: Getting to working smarter . Below I describe my journey from E-Learning to Social Business and what has influenced me along the way. (BTW this is a longer version than I will be providing at the workshops, but since I frequently get asked about my background and what I have done, I thought I would add a little colour as this might be of interest or use to some.) My journey began in the 80s when I was teaching IT in a FE college. By 2000 I was back in the UK, and taking on another contract this time with Cisco Systems.
